Dancing at Lughnasa

Film Description

In the summer of 1936 the five Mundy sisters encounter problems which threaten to tear them apart forever. The opening of a new knitting factory destroys the livelihoods of Agnes and Rose; travelling salesman Gerry, the father of Christina's son, announces that he is off to fight the Fascists in Spain; and brother Jack, a missionary priest who has been away in Africa, returns home a broken, senile man. As the festival of Lughnasa approaches the tensions between the sisters come to a head.
